Alright everyone, it's time for today's top 10 little phrases of insight, wisdom, words to live by. Enjoy them, take them to heart.

*Top 10 Words of Wisdom:

1). Tell your kids often how terrific they are and that you trust them.2.) Learn to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly.3.) When someone is relating an important event that's happened to them, don't try to top them with a story of yor own. Let them have the stage.4.) Pray not for things, but for wisdom and courage.5.) Resist telling people how something should be done. Instead, tell them what needs to be done. They will often surprise you with creative solutions.6.) Give people a second chance, but not a third.7.) Time is more valuable than money because time is irreplacable.8.) If a task is once begun, never leave it 'till it's done. Be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all.9.) Be more concerned with what God thinks about you than what people think about you.10.) The trouble with the guy who talks too fast is that he often says something he hasn't thought of yet.11.) The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift not a right.

*YES, I know there are actually 11 today. I flubbed up and posted this and then went back later and realized I had forgotten to hit enter between #2 and #3 and when I renumbered, I realized I had 11. So instead of choosing one to get rid of, I'm just going to post 11 today instead of 10.

About Me

SO much has changed in my life since I last blogged regularly in 2010. I'm 39 now, single and trying to be the best mom I can be as well as doing the best I can for my unbelievably precious daughter who’s now 11 and my beautiful, inquisitive little man who turned 3 in November. I'm learning to live again with joy and happiness and a new lease on life. God has really been working in my life and BIG changes are in the works and I'm incredibly excited about them!
One of the changes is becoming a distributor and advisor for AdvoCare. After seeing what it did for me on the 24 Day Challenge (lost 15 pounds and an overall total of 32.5") I was sold, not only from the external physical results, but the internal ones as well. I've never felt so good!
As the Gary Allan song goes, "Life ain’t always beautiful but it’s a beautiful ride". I hope to take you along on the ride through my life as it changes and as I continue to change. I hope you stay a while and enjoy yourselves and maybe learn a little about coping with unexpected circumstances in life with the help of God. Come back soon!
